TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an alkylamine derivative or a salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical agent comprising the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity, which comprises an alkylamine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active component.

BACKGROUND ART

Energy metabolism in the body is controlled by insulin produced by pancreatic beta-cells. Insulin plays an important role in controlling the blood sugar level by affecting and promoting the peripheral tissues or cells to take up sugar from the blood. However, insulin sensitivity of the cells is reduced by continuous intake of high caloric diet, an increase in the blood sugar level as well as oversecretion of insulin proceed at the same time. As a result, pancreatic beta-cells are worn out and thus become dysfunctional, thereby causing diabetes or obesity.

Secretion of insulin is regulated by various hormones. In particular, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), produced and secreted in the gastrointestinal tract, is considered important. GLP-1 is a peptide hormone with a molecular weight of about 4,000, which is mainly produced in L cells in the small intestine. GLP-1 has been found to have an effect of promoting insulin secretion by beta-cells, effects of suppressing peristalic movement, digestion and absorption of the stomach, effects of suppressing on appetite and overeating, and else, and thus effective in preventing or treating diabetes or obesity. Since diabetes and obesity decreases GLP-1 production capacity, promotion of GLP-1 production in these pathological conditions is expected to result in prevention or treatment of diabetes or obesity. Although production of GLP-1 in L cells is promoted by intake of various nutrients such as carbohydrate, fat, protein and the like, it is a rare case to apply a compound such as a peptide having a certain component as a GLP-1 secretion promoter.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone having a molecular weight of about 4,000, which is mainly produced in L cells of the duodenum and small intestine and which promotes secretions of bile and pancreatic digestive juice. CCK has physiological effects such as an effect of suppressing gastric emptying of food, an effect of promoting pancreatic enzyme secretion and an effect of suppressing food taking due to a sense of fullness (Non-patent documents 1 and 2). Furthermore, CCK is also known to have an effect of promoting secretion of insulin, i.e., a blood sugar regulating hormone (Non-patent documents 3 and 4). CCK having such effects is considered to be promising for treating or preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes or obesity.

In order to apply peptides GLP-1 and CCK to treatment, intravascular administration such as injection is employed, which is impractical in terms of complication caused by daily administration and large expense. Meanwhile, to make use of the mechanism where endogenous GLP-1 and CCK are secreted from GLP-1- and CCK-producing cells in the small intestine mucosa seems to be worthy of consideration. Specifically, development of a compound or the like that has an effect of promoting GLP-1 and CCK secretions has been awaited.

The calcium receptor, also called the calcium sensing receptor (also referred to as “CaSR”), was cloned from bovine thyroid in 1993 as G-protein coupled seven-transmembrane receptor (G-protein coupled receptor; GPCR) that senses extracellular calcium (Ca2+) (Non-patent Document 5). The calcium receptor has a function of altering the intracellular Ca2+ concentration by sensing extracellular Ca2+, thereby regulating production of hormones or the like involved in Ca2+ metabolic regulation, as typified by parathyroid hormone.

Recently, cinacalcet (CCT), a calcium receptor agonist, was found to have an effect of suppressing secretion of parathyroid hormone by acting on the calcium receptor of parathyroid to enhance Ca2+ sensitivity of the calcium receptor (Non-patent Document 6), and it has been marketed as a therapeutic drug for secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients (Non-patent Document 7).

In addition, the calcium receptor was also found to be expressed in kidney, brain, thyroid, bones and gastrointestinal tracts, and thus considered to be involved in various diseases.

As compounds having a CaSR activating effect, for example, gamma-glutamyl peptide derivatives are known (Patent Documents 1 and 2), which have also been reported to be effective as a therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity (Patent Document 3).

These compounds, however, are structurally different from the alkylamine derivatives of the present invention.

On the other hand, a gamma-glutamyl anilide derivative, among the alkylamine derivatives, is known to be used as a substrate for enzymatic activity (Non-patent Document 8) as well as for its application as an antimicrobial agent or an anti-allergic agent (Non-patent Document 9 and Patent Document 4) and its application as an analytical reagent (Non-patent Documents 10 and 11). Moreover, an L-2-amino-3-N′-substituted ureidopropanoic acid derivative is known for its application as a synthetic intermediate of an asparagine analog employed as an anticancer agent (Non-patent Document 12). The alkylamine derivative is known as a leukotriene A4 inhibitor for application against inflammatory diseases (Non-patent Document 13). The alkylamine derivative is also known for its application as an anticancer agent (Non-patent Document 14).

The above-mentioned compounds, however, have not been known for their applications as pharmaceutical agents having a CaSR agonist effect, in particular, an effect of promoting GLP-1 and CCK secretions.

Hereinafter, a method for producing compound (I) will be described.

A compound represented by General Formula (I) of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following method.

In the following reaction formula, R¹-R⁶, R^(a), R^(b), R^(c), X, Y, G and Q are the same groups as those in the definition for the above-described Formula (I). In addition, in Formula (2), M represents a functional group that binds to XH or a compound represented by Formula (3) to form X—Y.

For example, when X—Y of Formula (I) represents —CR^(a)R^(b)—CO— group in Reaction Formula (A), the compound can be produced as follows.

A carboxylic acid derivative (2a) and an amine derivative (3) are dissolved or suspended in an appropriate solvent, and mixed with a condensing agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbo diimide hydrochloride (EDCI) or N,N-carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) in the presence or absence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, while the reaction system may be cooled, heated or the like as appropriate to produce (I-a). Upon condensation, an adjuvant, a catalyst or the like that adjusts the reaction, such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) may be added. The protective group may be removed as appropriate to produce an amide derivative represented by General Formula (I-a).

Alternatively, a carboxylic acid halide (2a′) and an amine derivative (3) are mixed in an appropriate solvent and a catalyst such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine is used in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, while cooling, heating or the like may be performed as appropriate to produce an amide derivative (I-a). Here, Hal in Reaction Formula B2 represents a halogen atom.

In addition, when X—Y of Formula (I) represents —O—CO— group in Reaction Formula A, the compound may be produced as follows. An alcohol derivative (2b) and an amine derivative (3) are dissolved or suspended in an appropriate solvent, and mixed with a condensing agent such as CDI, phosgene, triphosgene or the like in the presence or absence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, while the reaction system may be cooled, heated or the like as appropriate to produce a carbamate derivative (I-b).

In addition, a thiocarbonylating agent such as 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiaziphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson's reagent) may be reacted with (I-b) in an appropriate solvent with or without heating to produce an O-substituted thiocarbamate derivative (I-b′).

Moreover, in the case where X—Y of Formula (I) in Reaction Formula A represents —NR^(c)—CO— group, the compound may be produced, for example, as follows. The amine of an alkylamine derivative represented by (2c) or a salt thereof and the amine derivative of (3) are dissolved or suspended in an appropriate solvent, and mixed with a condensing agent such as CDI, phosgene or triphosgene or a carbonyl source such as dimethyl carbonate in the presence or absence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, while the reaction system may be cooled or heated as appropriate to produce an urea derivative (I-c).

Alternatively, as shown in Reaction Formula D2, a method using Lossen rearrangement may be employed as described in Org. Lett., Vol. 11, No. 24, 2009, 5622-5625 while using a hydroxamic acid derivative (4) and an amine derivative (3) to produce an urea derivative (I-c′).

Alternatively, the compound may also be produced by a method in which a carbamate derivative (3a) is produced and then substituted with an amine derivative (2c).

Alternatively, in the case where X—Y of Formula (I) represents —S—CO— group in Reaction Formula A, the compound may be produced as follows. A thiol derivative (2d) and an amine derivative of (3) are dissolved or suspended in an appropriate solvent, and mixed with a condensing agent such as CDI, phosgene or triphosgene or a carbonyl source such as dimethyl carbonate in the presence or absence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, while the reaction system may be cooled or heated as appropriate to produce a S-substituted thiocarbamate derivative (I-d).

In the case where X—Y of Formula (I) represents N—C(═S)— group in Reaction Formula A, the compound may be produced, for example, as follows. Specifically, an amine derivative represented by (3b) is dissolved or suspended in an appropriate solvent and mixed, for example, with thiophosgene, carbon disulfide or the like in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate, triethylamine or sodium ethoxide to generate isothiocyanate (5) as an intermediate. The isothiocyanate (5) may also be a commercially available product. The isothiocyanate, either isolated or not isolated, is dissolved in an appropriate solvent, and mixed with amine (2c) of the alkylamine derivative in the presence or absence of a base such as triethylamine, pyridine or sodium carbonate while cooling or heating as appropriate to produce a thiourea derivative (I-e).

The amine derivative (3) may be a commercially available compound or may be produced as follows.

For example, the following nitro derivative (4) can be used, for example, with hydrogen gas as a reductant to perform hydrogenation reaction in the presence of a catalyst, or used to perform general reduction reaction, for example, through reaction with tin chloride to produce (3b).

In addition, (3c) can be produced by selecting an appropriate reductant upon reduction as described in Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1: Organic and Bio-Organic Chemistry (1972-1999), 1998, #3, p. 509-520.

Examples of the substituent R⁷ on G include a reaction in which aromatic halide (7) is reacted with a strong base such as n-butyllithium to perform lithium-halogen exchange for reaction with dry ice to introduce a carboxyl group, and a reaction in which aromatic halide (7) is reacted with a transition metal such as palladium for reaction with carbon monoxide gas. Similarly, a phosphate ester substitute can be produced, for example, by a method described in Synthesis, 1981, #1 p. 56-57 in which aromatic halide is reacted with a transition metal catalyst such as palladium for reaction with phosphite ester, or a sulfonic acid derivative is produced by reacting fuming sulfuric acid with aromatic compound (8) as shown in Reaction Formula J. Here, in reaction formula I, Hal, V and Prot represent a halogen atom or a pseudohalogen atom, a protected nitrogen atom or a group that can change into a nitrogen atom and a protective group or a hydrogen atom, respectively.

Heteroaryls may be synthesized, for example, according to the method described in Chemical reactivity of aromatic hetero ring compound and ring synthesis (Sakamoto et al., Kodansha Scientific). For example, the following heteroaryl can be synthesized by treating a diacylhydrazine derivative with an appropriate dehydrating agent.

In particular, unstable radioactive isotopes such as ³H and ¹⁴C, that release radiation and emit neutron are useful for a body tissue distribution test of a pharmaceutical product or a compound. Since a stable isotope does not undergo decay, has almost no change in the abundance and has no radioactivity, it can be used safely. An isotope of a compound of the present invention may be converted according to a routine method by replacing the reagent used for synthesis with a reagent containing a corresponding isotope.

A compound of the present invention can be used as a pharmaceutical agent, particularly as a CaSR agonistic agent, and can be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a disease that is ameliorated through CaSR activation.

CaSR is expressed in various tissues and involved in various physiological actions. For example, a peptide or a low-molecular compound having calcium receptor activation activity has been shown to promote secretion of GLP-1 and CCK in intestinal tract-derived STC-1 and GLUTag cells (WO2009/11221). Therefore, a compound having a CaSR agonist effect is found to be beneficial as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes (The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol. 274, p. 20561-20568, 1999 and The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol. 275, p. 18777-18784, 2000) and obesity. In fact, the compound of the present invention has been confirmed to have an effect of promoting GLP-1 and CCK secretions (see Test Examples described later), and can be used as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity. The compound of the present invention can also be used as a promoter of GLP-1 or CCK secretion. The present invention also provides a method for treating diabetes or obesity, the method comprising a step of administering compound (I). The present invention further provides use of compound (I) in treatment or prevention of diabetes or obesity. The present invention also provides compound (I) for treating or preventing diabetes or obesity. The present invention further provides use of compound (I) in production of a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for diabetes or obesity.

The compound of the present invention is administered directly or as a pharmaceutical composition that contains the compound of the present invention as an active ingredient. A method for applying such a pharmaceutical composition is not particularly limited, and oral administration, invasive administration using injection or the like, suppository administration or transdermal administration may be employed. The active ingredient can be mixed with a non-toxic solid or liquid carrier for a pharmaceutical agent appropriate for the given method such as oral administration, injection or the like, and administered in a form of a common pharmaceutical formulation. Examples of such formulations include formulations in a solid form such as a tablet, granules, a pill, powder, a capsule, a suppository, a sugarcoated tablet or a depot formulation, liquid formulation such as a solution formulation, suspension and emulsion, and a lyophilized formulation. These formulations can be prepared by pharmaceutically common means.

Examples of the above-described non-toxic carrier for a pharmaceutical agent include glucose, lactose, sucrose, starch, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, mannitol, dextrin, fatty acid glyceride, polyethylene glycol, hydroxyethyl starch, ethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, gelatin, albumin, amino acid, water and physiological saline. If necessary, a common additive such as a stabilizer, a moisturizer, an emulsifier, a binder or a tonicity agent may appropriately be added.

A compound of the present invention can also be used as eatables that have an effect of treating or preventing a GLP-1- or CCK-secretion-involved disease, diabetes and obesity, or as eatables that have an effect of reducing the blood sugar level. For example, it may be made into eatables with a container or a package thereof indicating that it has an effect of treating or preventing a disease associated with secretion of the above-described peptide, diabetes or obesity, or an effect of reducing the blood sugar level.

A dosage form and an administration form of a compound of the present invention are not particularly limited, and it may be given by oral administration or by parenteral administration (intake) such as administration by intravenous drip, or administration by injection (transvenous administration). For the sake of easier administration, oral administration is favorable but the administration is not limited thereto.

For an orally administered agent, granules, fine granules, a powdered agent, a coated tablet, a tablet, a suppository, powder, a (micro) capsule, a chewable agent, syrup, juice, a liquid agent, suspension and emulsion can be employed. For an injectable agent, those for direct intravenous infusion, those for administration by intravenous drip, and formulation that prolongs the release of the active substance can be employed. Thus, a dosage form of general pharmaceutical formulations can be employed.

In the case of oral administration, the dosage differs depending on the condition and age of the patient as well as the given method, but it should be an amount effective for treatment or prevention, which may appropriately be adjusted according to the age, sex, weight, condition and the like of the patient. For example, in the case of an oral administration, an amount of a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity, or a promoter of GLP-1 or CCK secretion per day, in general, is preferably 0.001 mg-10 mg and more preferably 0.1 mg-1 mg per kilogram weight of an adult.

Moreover, a dosage, in the case of parenteral administration such as administration by intravenous drip or administration by injection (transvenous administration), is preferably about one-tenth to one-twentieth of the above-described range of preferable dosage (amount of intake) for oral administration.

The above-described dosage for oral administration may similarly be applied to the later-described food, which does not preclude that the prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity or a promoter of GLP-1 or CCK secretion is contained in the food such that the amount of intake is lower than that for administration.

A compound of the present invention can be formulated according to a routine method. According to the requirement for the formulation, various pharmacologically acceptable formulation substances (such as adjuvant) can be blended.

Test Example I Assessment of CaSR Agonistic Activity

(Preparation of CaSR Gene)

CaSR gene was prepared according to the method described in Example 1 of WO07/55393. The resulting recombinant plasmid was used to generate human CaSR-expressing plasmid hCaSR/pcDNA3.1.

(Method for Assessing CaSR Agonist)

293E cells (EBNA1-expressing IIEK293 cells, ATCC No. CRL-10852) were cultured in DMEM (1.0 g/ml Glucose-containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium, Nacalai Tesque) containing 10% bovine fetal serum in the presence of 250 μg/ml of G418. The cells were seeded on a 10 cm-diameter petri dish at 1.8×10⁶ cells/15 ml, and left to stand in a CO₂ incubator (5% CO₂, 37° C.) for 24 hours. Thereafter, human CaSR expression plasmid hCaSR/pcDNA3.1 was transfected with transfection reagent Mirus Trans IT 293 (Takara Bio). Following static culture in a CO₂ incubator for 24 hours, the cells were harvested with 10% bovine fetal serum-containing DMEM and seeded on a poly-D-lysine coat 384 well plate (Falcon) at 15,000 cells/well. Following static culture in a CO₂ incubator for 24 hours, the medium was removed and the resultant was added with 50 μl/well of Ca²⁺ fluorescent indicator Calcium 4 Assay Kit (Molecular Devices) dissolved in an assay buffer (146 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO₄, 1 mg/ml Glucose, 20 mM HEPES (PH 7.2), 1.5 mM CaCl₂), and left to stand at 37° C. for an hour and then at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow intake of the indicator. The above-mentioned 384-well plate was transferred to FLIPR (Molecular Devices) and added with 12.5 μl/well of a compound dissolved in a 0.1% BSA-containing assay buffer to measure 3-minute change in the fluorescence intensity.

(Method for Calculating EC₅₀)

The difference between maximum and minimum fluorescence intensities before and after compound addition (RFU (Max−Min)) was determined by FLIPR automatic calculation. An activity rate was calculated where RFU (Max−Min) upon addition of a compound at a maximum concentration was defined 100% and RFU (Max−Min) upon addition of DMSO as a substitute for the compound at the same concentration was defined 0%. The rate was subjected to curve fitting using spreadsheet software Xfit to determine EC₅₀ value, i.e., a compound concentration upon 50% activity rate. The results are shown in Tables 16 and 17. From these results, the compounds of the present invention appear to have good CaSR agonistic activity and are useful as CaSR agonistic agents.

As can be appreciated from the tables, all of the compounds of the present invention that can be used as prophylactic or therapeutic agents for diabetes or obesity show superior CaSR agonist activity, and EC₅₀ values of the compounds in Examples 6 and 14 mentioned below were both 0.003 μM. Based on these results, the compounds of the present invention including those of Examples 6 and 14 have good CaSR agonist activity, and any of them appears to be promising as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes or obesity.

Test Example 2 Effects of Compounds in Examples 6, 14 and 48 in Promoting GLP-1 Secretion

Human appendix-derived cell line NCI-H716 (ATCC No CCL-251) was cultured in a 10% FBS-containing DMEM/HamF-12 medium at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO₂. NCI-H716 cells were seeded in a poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well plate at 100,000 cells/well and cultured for two days. Prior to sample addition, wells were washed with Hepes buffer (20 mM Hepes, 146 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1.5 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgSO₄, 5.5 mM D-glucose, 0.2% BSA, pH 7.4). Fifty μl of a sample solution dissolved in the same buffer was added and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. The above-described compounds in Example 6 (Compound 1) (10 mM), Example 48 (Compound 2) (5 mM) and Example 14 (Compound 3) (2 mM) were used as the samples. In addition, a Hepes buffer was used as a control. After collecting the supernatant, the cells were precipitated by centrifugation (5,000×g, 1 min.) to collect the supernatant thereof. GLP-1 level in the supernatant was determined as described below according to a quantitative method for GLP-1 that uses GLP-1 receptor gene expression cells.

According to a routine method (Lopez de Maturana R, Willshaw A, Kuntzsch A, Rudolph R, Donnelly D. J Biol Chem. 2003 Mar. 21; 278 (12):10195-200), human GLP-1 receptor gene (Nucleotide sequence 1) was integrated into pcDNA3.1 to prepare human GLP-1 receptor gene expression plasmid hGLP-1R/pcDNA3.1. Moreover, chimeric gene (Nucleotide sequence 2) of human Gα15 gene and human gustducin gene was integrated into pcDNA3.1 to prepare G protein expression plasmid Gα15-gust/pcDNA3.1. Transfection reagent FuGene6 (Roche Japan) was used to cotransfect hGLP-1R/pcDNA3.1 and Gα15-gust44/pcDNA3.1 in HEK293E cells (ATCC No. CRL-10852). After 4 to 6 hours of cultivation in a CO₂ incubator, the cells were suspended in 5% FBS-containing DMEM/HamF12, and seeded in a poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well plate at 70,000 cells/well. After 24 hours of cultivation in a CO₂ incubator, changes in the fluorescence intensity were determined starting immediately after sample addition according to the Ca²⁺ fluorescence indicator FLIPR Calcium 4 Assay Kit protocol (Molecular Devices) using FlexStation (Molecular Devices). Concentration dependency of human GLP-1 (7-36 Amide; Peptide Institute) with respect to the changes in the fluorescence intensity was determined and used as a standard curve for quantitating the sample. The expression plasmid used herein may be prepared, for example, by a method described in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 1992 Sep. 15; 89 (18):8641-5, FEBS Letters Volume 373, Issue 2, 9 Oct. 1995, Pages 182-186) or The Journal of Neuroscience, Aug. 13, 2003, 23 (19):7376-7380).

The results are shown in Table 18. Table 18 shows relative secretion volumes of the compounds in Examples 6, 48 and 14 (Compounds 1 to 3, respectively), where the secretion volume obtained with use of the buffer is assumed to be 1.0. Thus, Compounds 1 to 3 were confirmed to have an effect of promoting GLP-1 secretion. Accordingly, the compounds of the present invention including Compounds 1 to 3 having an effect of promoting GLP-1 secretion were found to be effective as prophylactic or therapeutic agents for diabetes or obesity.

Test Example 3 Effects of Compounds in Examples 6 and 48 in Promoting CCK Secretion

Human appendix-derived cell line NCI-H716 (ATCC No CCL-251) was cultured in a 10% FBS-containing DMEM/HamF-12 medium at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO₂. NCI-H716 cells were seeded in a poly-D-lysine-coated 24-well plate at 600,000 cells/well and cultured for two days. Prior to sample addition, wells were washed with Hepes buffer (20 mM Hepes, 146 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1.5 mM CaCl₂, 1 mM MgSO₄, 5.5 mM D-glucose, 0.02% BSA, pH 7.4). 300 μl of a sample solution dissolved in the same buffer was added and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. Compound 1 in Example 6 (2 mM) and Compound 2 in Example 48 (1 mM) were used as the samples. In addition, a Hepes buffer was used as a control. After collecting the supernatant, the cells were precipitated by centrifugation (5,000×g, 1 min.) to collect the supernatant thereof, which was lyophilized in Speed Vac Concentrator (SAVANT) and dissolved by addition of 60 μl of water. CCK level in the solution was determined using Enzyme immuno assay kit (EK-069-04; PHENOIX PHARMACEUTICALS).

The results are shown in Table 19. Table 19 shows relative secretion volumes of the compounds in Examples 6 and 48 (Compounds 1 and 2), where the secretion volume obtained with use of the buffer is assumed to be 1.0. Thus, Compounds 1 and 2 were confirmed to have an effect of promoting CCK secretion. Accordingly, since the compounds of the present invention including Compounds 1 and 2 have an effect of promoting CCK secretion, they were found to be effective as prophylactic or therapeutic agents for diabetes or obesity.

Test Example 4 Studying Effects on Gastric Emptying Using Mouse

A test for examining the effects of the compounds in the examples on delaying gastric emptying was carried out.

Method

A dosing vehicle (distilled water) or 3 mg/kg of the compound in Example 6 (Compound 1) was orally administered in a forced manner using a mouse sonde to normal mice (C57BL/6J, 7-week-old) after 24 hours of fasting. As positive controls, a group subcutaneously injected with Exendin-4 (Sigma) (2.4 nmol/kg) that was known to have an effect of suppressing gastric emptying was also prepared. 10 ml/kg of dosing vehicle was also orally administered to the mice of the Exendin-4 group. Fifteen minutes after drug administration, phenol red solution (0.5 mg/ml phenol red+1.5% methylcellulose+distilled water) was orally administered in a forced manner at a volume of 5 ml/kg. After another 20 minutes, the stomach was resected from each mouse and phenol red remaining in the stomach was extracted in 0.1N NaOH solution. Absorbance of the extracted solution was determined at 560 nm to quantitate the amount of remaining phenol red (S). While the amount of phenol red (C) extracted from the stomach resected immediately after the administration of phenol red was assumed to be 100%, the amount of remaining phenol red 20 minutes after the drug administration with respect to C was calculated, as a gastric emptying volume (%), based on the following expression. Gastric emptying volume(%)=(1−(S/C))×100

Results

As shown in Table 20, an average of 82.4% of gastric emptying was found in the group administered with distilled water as the dosing vehicle. On the other hand, in the group administered with Compound 1 at 3 mg/kg, gastric emptying was suppressed to an average of 56.3%, showing almost equal activity to that of Exendin-4 at 2.4 nmol/kg as the positive control. Accordingly, intake of the compound of the present invention having a gastric emptying delay effect suppresses an increase in the blood sugar level. Moreover, since delay in the gastric emptying prolongs the sense of fullness, the amount of food intake generally tends to be reduced. As can be appreciated from above, the effect of delaying gastric emptying by the compounds of the present invention, as typified by the above-described examples, also has an effect of suppressing food intake it was shown that the compounds can prevent or treat diabetes and obesity.

Test Example 5 Suppression of Increase in Blood Sugar Level

Male mice (C57BL/6J, 7-week-old), after prebreeding (7 days), are fasted overnight to conduct oral glucose load test as follows. A glucose solution alone (2 g/kg weight) and a glucose solution containing a compound of the present invention (2 g/kg weight) are orally administered. Blood is taken from the tail vein 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes after administration of the specimens, and glucose level in the plasma is measured using a commercially available kit (Roche).

According to such a method, a compound of the present invention is confirmed to have an effect of suppressing an increase in the blood sugar level.
